Claims
- 1. A magnetic settler filter apparatus comprising: a tank for receiving liquid containing magnetic powder to be separated from the liquid; a magnetized plate spaced above the bottom of said tank and magnetized so that upper and lower surfaces of said magnetized plate attract magnetic powder, said magnetized plates having width and length; liquid inlet means located at the side of one edge of said width for directing flow of incoming liquid into a portion of said tank below said magnetized plate; liquid passage means located at a side of the other edge of said width for liquid flow along underside of said magnetized plate to a portion above said magnetized plate; liquid outlet means for discharging clean liquid at a level; sludge discharge outlet means located above the level of said liquid outlet means for discharging collected magnetic powder; scraper conveyor means movable in the length direction of said magnetized plate from one end to the other end underneath said magnetized plate and further to said sludge outlet means and being also movable in opposite length direction of said magnetized plate from said sludge discharge outlet means through said other end of said magnetized plate to said one end above said magnetized plate; said scraper and converyor means comprising endless conveyor chains; freight bars fastened at both ends to said conveyor chains; scraper plates mounted on said freight bars being slidable on bottom of said tank, said scraper plates being slidable on upper and lower surfaces of said magnetized plate.
- 2. A filter as defined in claim 1 wherein said magnetized plate comprises a horizontal portion and an upwardly inclined portion, said upward portion ending above the liquid level in said tank.
- 3. A filter as defined in claim 2 comprising scraper means for removing powder and foreign matter from said freight bars and said scraper plates.
- 4. A filter as claimed in claim 1 comprising sprockets on which said conveyor means is wound for being driven in one direction below said magnetized plate and in the opposite direction above said magnetized plate.
- 5. A filter as claimed in claim 4 wherein: said tank has liquid outlet means below the level of liquid in said tank and above said magnetized plate for discharge of liquid from which magnetic powder and foreign matter have been removed.
- 6. A filter as claimed in claim 5 wherein: said scraper conveyor means comprises a horizontal portion at the opposite surfaces of said magnetized plate and an upwardly inclined portion extending from said horizontal portion to said sludge discharge outlet means.
